Overtime, again
TAMPA, Fla. -- After a Thursday that went the way of the chalk, we've had plenty of excitement already in Tampa. After Western Kentucky topped Drake in overtime, San Diego has taken Connecticut to an extra frame.
Down 4 with 50 seconds to play, Hasheem Thabeet put in a layup to cut the lead to 2. Then, the Huskies started fouling to stop the clock, but it took a lot of work since they only had three team fouls.
Four fouls later, the Toreros went to the line with a chance to ice the game.
Devin Ginty went to the line first with 28.7 remaining and made one, leaving the door open for Jeff Adrien's layin on the other end.
SDU led by 1 when Jerome Dyson was called for a blocking foul before an inbounds pass that sent Ginty to the line again with 17.1 left. Ginty hit the first but missed the second again, and UConn went the length of the floor.
Dyson was fouled and made both free throws.
The Toreros had another chance as De'Jon Jackson shot a layup with around 4 seconds left, but he missed.
More bonus basketball!
